<a name="GstAdapter.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This class is for elements that receive buffers in an undesired size.
While for example raw video contains one image per buffer, the same is not
true for a lot of other formats, especially those that come directly from
a file. So if you have undefined buffer sizes and require a specific size,
this object is for you.</p>
<p>An adapter is created with <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-new" title="gst_adapter_new ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_new()</code></a>. It can be freed again with
<a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-unref"><code class="function">g_object_unref()</code></a>.</p>
<p>The theory of operation is like this: All buffers received are put
into the adapter using <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-push" title="gst_adapter_push ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_push()</code></a> and the data is then read back
in chunks of the desired size using <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-map" title="gst_adapter_map ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_map()</code></a>/<a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-unmap" title="gst_adapter_unmap ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_unmap()</code></a>
and/or <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-copy" title="gst_adapter_copy ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_copy()</code></a>. After the data has been processed, it is freed
using <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-unmap" title="gst_adapter_unmap ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_unmap()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Other methods such as <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-take" title="gst_adapter_take ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_take()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-take-buffer" title="gst_adapter_take_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_take_buffer()</code></a>
combine <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-map" title="gst_adapter_map ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_map()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-unmap" title="gst_adapter_unmap ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_unmap()</code></a> in one method and are
potentially more convenient for some use cases.</p>
<p>For example, a sink pad's chain function that needs to pass data to a library
in 512-byte chunks could be implemented like this:</p>

<p></p>
<p>For another example, a simple element inside GStreamer that uses <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html" title="GstAdapter"><span class="type">GstAdapter</span></a>
is the libvisual element.</p>
<p>An element using <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html" title="GstAdapter"><span class="type">GstAdapter</span></a> in its sink pad chain function should ensure that
when the FLUSH_STOP event is received, that any queued data is cleared using
<a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-clear" title="gst_adapter_clear ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_clear()</code></a>. Data should also be cleared or processed on EOS and
when changing state from <a href="../html/GstElement.html#GST-STATE-PAUSED:CAPS"><code class="literal">GST_STATE_PAUSED</code></a> to <a href="../html/GstElement.html#GST-STATE-READY:CAPS"><code class="literal">GST_STATE_READY</code></a>.</p>
<p>Also check the GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DISCONT flag on the buffer. Some elements might
need to clear the adapter after a discontinuity.</p>
<p>The adapter will keep track of the timestamps of the buffers
that were pushed. The last seen timestamp before the current position
can be queried with <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-prev-pts" title="gst_adapter_prev_pts ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_prev_pts()</code></a>. This function can
optionally return the number of bytes between the start of the buffer that
carried the timestamp and the current adapter position. The distance is
useful when dealing with, for example, raw audio samples because it allows
you to calculate the timestamp of the current adapter position by using the
last seen timestamp and the amount of bytes since.  Additionally, the
<a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-prev-pts-at-offset" title="gst_adapter_prev_pts_at_offset ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_prev_pts_at_offset()</code></a> can be used to determine the last
seen timestamp at a particular offset in the adapter.</p>
<p>The adapter will also keep track of the offset of the buffers
(<a href="../html/GstBuffer.html#GST-BUFFER-OFFSET:CAPS"><span class="type">GST_BUFFER_OFFSET</span></a>) that were pushed. The last seen offset before the
current position can be queried with <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-prev-offset" title="gst_adapter_prev_offset ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_prev_offset()</code></a>. This function
can optionally return the number of bytes between the start of the buffer
that carried the offset and the current adapter position.</p>
<p>Additionally the adapter also keeps track of the PTS, DTS and buffer offset
at the last discontinuity, which can be retrieved with
<a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-pts-at-discont" title="gst_adapter_pts_at_discont ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_pts_at_discont()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-dts-at-discont" title="gst_adapter_dts_at_discont ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_dts_at_discont()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-offset-at-discont" title="gst_adapter_offset_at_discont ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_offset_at_discont()</code></a>. The number of bytes that were consumed
since then can be queried with <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-distance-from-discont" title="gst_adapter_distance_from_discont ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_distance_from_discont()</code></a>.</p>
<p>A last thing to note is that while <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html" title="GstAdapter"><span class="type">GstAdapter</span></a> is pretty optimized,
merging buffers still might be an operation that requires a <code class="function">malloc()</code> and
<code class="function">memcpy()</code> operation, and these operations are not the fastest. Because of
this, some functions like <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-available-fast" title="gst_adapter_available_fast ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_available_fast()</code></a> are provided to help
speed up such cases should you want to. To avoid repeated memory allocations,
<a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-copy" title="gst_adapter_copy ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_copy()</code></a> can be used to copy data into a (statically allocated)
user provided buffer.</p>
<p><a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html" title="GstAdapter"><span class="type">GstAdapter</span></a> is not MT safe. All operations on an adapter must be serialized by
the caller. This is not normally a problem, however, as the normal use case
of <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html" title="GstAdapter"><span class="type">GstAdapter</span></a> is inside one pad's chain function, in which case access is
serialized via the pad's STREAM_LOCK.</p>
<p>Note that <a class="link" href="GstAdapter.html#gst-adapter-push" title="gst_adapter_push ()"><code class="function">gst_adapter_push()</code></a> takes ownership of the buffer passed. Use
<a href="../html/GstBuffer.html#gst-buffer-ref"><code class="function">gst_buffer_ref()</code></a> before pushing it into the adapter if you still want to
access the buffer later. The adapter will never modify the data in the
buffer pushed in it.</p>

<p>Scan for pattern <em class="parameter"><code>pattern</code></em>
 with applied mask <em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em>
 in the adapter data,
starting from offset <em class="parameter"><code>offset</code></em>
.  If a match is found, the value that matched
is returned through <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
, otherwise <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
 is left untouched.</p>
<p>The bytes in <em class="parameter"><code>pattern</code></em>
 and <em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em>
 are interpreted left-to-right, regardless
of endianness.  All four bytes of the pattern must be present in the
adapter for it to match, even if the first or last bytes are masked out.</p>
<p>It is an error to call this function without making sure that there is
enough data (offset+size bytes) in the adapter.</p>
